Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

We’ll be perfectly happy to help you to improve your Spanish. My daughters and I will be delighted to teach you new words and explain everything about our rich and diverse culture. During meals or at our short excursions, if you want, we could show you all the vocabulary related to food, tapas and so on... It’ll be up to you to achieve better communication skills!

Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Overall, Cantabrian people are extremely friendly and polite.

Arbeit

I’ve been studying English (C1 level) in an attempt to achieve a good command of the language but it’s been very difficult. I’d like to host someone who could give me a hand with aspects of pronunciation that I’m struggling with and focus on improving my communication skills, so the main task is to teach me and my daughters English.

Days and timetable can be negotiable, so we could arrange our working hours and you could spend your free time as you wish. You don’t have to cook, because I love cooking.

Unterkunft

You’ll have a light-filled self-contained studio completely furnished, perfectly clean and tidy, a spotless bathroom and a stainless full-equipped kitchen that is next to our house.

Towels are provided, as is bed linen, and you may use the washing machine - this will enable you to travel light and avoid baggage costs. We like to be as ‘green’ as possible to conserve energy.

Our house is near the train station of Los Corrales de Buelna (0.8 km = 0.497 miles).

We’re omnivore (in case you’re a strict vegan!), although I love preparing dishes with vegetables. For the ones that do eat dairy products, I must say that Cantabria is famous for the variety of its tempting homemade cheese...

Regarding meals, we’ll offer you a healthy breakfast and a nutritious and fulfilling lunch and dinner.

Was noch ...

We live in a small city in the Cantabria (northern Spain), that is called Los Corrales de Buelna. Apart from that, our town is famous for its festival, called “Guerras Cántabras”, please take a look on the internet and you’ll see that it’s a lot a fun.

We don’t live just along the coast, but we own a flat in San Vicente de la Barquera famous for its sandy beaches, so if you want, we can spend some days there. It’s just about 46 km = 28.58 miles.

Finally, our house is within walking distance of excellent transport links and the amenities of a small town. You can go to Santander – capital of Cantabria (40km = 24.85 miles) and also visit Santillana del Mar (19 km = 11.80 miles). The closest medium town is Torrelavega (11 km = 7.45 miles), which has around 60,000 inhabitants. It may be possible for us to accompany you and show you the best places to visit.

We have the best of both worlds: amazing beaches and wonderful mountains. Apart from that, there are some picturesque villages nearby, so you can easily go sightseeing in your days off.
You may borrow our spare bike, so that you can explore the well-kept and picturesque surroundings.

I had a fabulous week with Elena and her family. They were so welcoming and friendly. We went to a local fiesta where I was introduced to all of their friends and we spent lots of time going to the beach and visiting surrounding areas. The food was incredible and Elena's husband prepared some really delicious fish dishes.
The setup is great I had… read more my own private little granny flat outside with a bed, desk, couch and small kitchen which was lovely.
The work is nice speaking English and helping Elena prepare for her exam.
I really felt like part of the family during my stay and can't recommend this workaway enough. :)

It was a pleasure to host Aoife ,she was always willing to help me with my English and she was relly nice to my daughter ,she sparks joy and her smile and good mood make everything easier .Thanks Aoife I wish you enjoy Spain

For me to spend this week with Belinda has been a fantastic experience, she has helped me so much with my English that we are going to meet in september to prepare for my exam.
El tiempo que he pasado con ella ha merecio la pena y sin duda ha sido un placer.Gracias Belinda

I have only good things to say about Megan ,she was so nice ,that my family and I are willing to meet her in Augoust again to take her to our local Festival GUERRAS and spend time altogether .It was great to learn English with her .

I have nothing but great things to say about staying with Elena and her family. They were incredibly welcoming, flexible, and fun. The English was conversational and based around the idea that having a native speaker will help provide learning that a textbook can't provide.

In the afternoons, the family showed me all around Cantabria, including… read more San Vicente de la Barquera, and allowed me to experience how a Spanish family lives and eats. They were also kind enough to help me with my Spanish. The family, village, and landscape are simply beautiful.

I had a wonderful time spent with Elena and her family. Elena was very kind to me and picked me up from the airport with her daughter. I stayed in a lovely annexe to the house which was very comfortable.
We ate together and I tried some delicious Spanish food, her husband made paella one day which we ate outside.
In the mornings we spent some… read more time looking at English ‘homework’ which was good fun and informative. I even tried to do one of the speaking tests and it’s not easy even when you are a native speaker!
In the afternoons we went to visit one of the many wonderful surrounding areas in the mountains or beaches, accompanied by Elena’s family sometimes. On the final day I visited San Sebastian which was beautiful.
So, if you would like to improve your Spanish, spend a memorable time in Spain with a very friendly, kind family, you should contact Elena!
